Days Of Perception

Surrounded by quietness and silence
You look into the face of that creature which once gave delight
It seems to you unreal and slowly blurring inside the mirror of life
You spoke and wanted to be silent
You loved but deceived yourself
Caught in a thousand illusions, your escape was plainer than facing reality.

Your face disintegrates in the glaring fire truth casts on you
Your own picture is impressed with doubts
The faith in yourself resembles a battle that seems lost
You destroyed what arose over years
You sold your soul, your heart, your reason
What once filled you with unspeakable pride, you did forsake.

Out of deepest night
That covered you
Days of perception have broken
Your mask has fallen
Down to dust
Your secrets have been spoken.

Fearlessly forward!
Open your eyes!
Don´t seek excuses!
Do not deny yourself!
Straight forward!
Nothing to lose
Never pretend!
But remember your roots!
